Pacific nations urge stronger climate action
Pacific island leaders demanded stronger global emissions cuts at a ministerial meeting in Fiji. Delegates are preparing priorities for the upcoming COP31 climate talks in Turkey.
Pacific island ministers gathered in Fiji on Wednesday to demand steeper emission cuts as global temperatures hurtle past the 1.5-degree Celsius warming limit. The ministerial meetings serve as a key precursor to the upcoming COP31 climate forum in Turkey this November. Leaders warn that exceeding the threshold accelerates irreversible environmental damage and locks in centuries of rising sea levels.
